Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«While AetherShot has a complete gameplay loop and progression, it is not where I would consider it a fully finished game. I have many more ideas and would like feedback from a wider audience than my testers as I implement new features and expand upon existing ones.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«We are planning to stay in early access for 3 to 12 months depending on player feedback and how long it takes for for the game to get to a "Complete" state.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«We plan to use the Early Access period for things like:

• Improving existing enemy, boss and environmental assets
  
• Adding custom music and sound effects
  
• Expanding on the Base Camp and the NPCs within
  
• Expanding on the existing story
  
• Adding new enemies, bosses and floors
  
• Adding new spells, elements, vessels and upgrades
  
• Rebalancing existing content

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The Early Access version has just released, so it is in its most basic state currently. The first couple weeks will be for gathering feedback on how it currently stands and what should be prioritized first. While it has a complete and fun gameplay loop, it lacks the depth that we hope to achieve between now and the full release.

Currently the game includes:

• Procedural generated Trials with 3 floors with over 50 possible rooms. Each floor has 1 of 3 bosses each, and many different enemy types.
  
• A full crafting and trading system to add progression to the story mode
  
• A base camp full of fellow restoration workers who can help you in various ways
  
• A Classic mode with no meta progression for a true Roguelike experience
  
• 8 spell types, 5 elements, and over 100 upgrades to make custom spells of all kinds
  
• 4 Aether Vessel Types with 24 upgrades to enable different strategies for managing Aether needed to cast spells

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«The price will not increase between Early Access and Full Release, though sales will be more frequent and at a higher discount than during the Full Release.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«After releasing into Early Access, AetherShot's development discord will become open to all users for feedback and communication, as well as answering questions and receiving feedback on other social media channels.»
